vaväe (Varu' in the Schol, perhaps Dhara') Garulovaväe, Velamdharovavae, Vesamanovaväe. All these names recur in the anangapavittha list of the Nandi (Pākşikas. Vidhipr.). We have seen above, p. 223, 224, that the five ajjhayanas beginning with khuddiyavimāņa are designed for the eleventh year of study, the five150 ajjha. which begin with aruņovavaa for the twelfth year of study. From this two facts are plain : first, that they still existed at the date of composition of the versus memoriales in question, secondly, that they were of great importance in so far as their study is made to occur after that designed for anga 5 i.e. the tenth year. By vivahacūliya (vyakhya bhagavati tusyhś culikā) we may remark in passing, we are to understand one or more of those supplements to anga 5, all of which now appear to have been incorporated in that anga.
We cannot doubt that all the texts mentioned above were thus constituted at the period of the existence of anga 3. Hence the extreme interest of this detailed presentation of the subject. It is only as regards anga 7 and chedasūtra 4 that this account is in entire agreement with the existing text of the Siddhānta ; in all other particulars this account is either widely different or has reference to texts,151 which are pot found in the Siddhānta at all. The proof here given of the fact that from the mention of a work in one place or another there does not [275] follow the identity of the then existing texts with the present (though in reality proof of a fact that is self-evident) is nevertheless not out of place in the present case, since it has become so customary in these days to draw from the titles of Chinese, etc., translations of Buddistic works conclusions in reference to the existence of the latter in their present form. The proof here carried out in reference to anga 8 to 10 is intended as a reminder that greater caution must be used in the future. (See Ind, Stud. III, 140).
Of great interest is furthermore the enumeration in ajjh, 7 of the names of the seven schisms 52 together with those of their founder and of their localities : evaṁ ceva samaņassa bhagavato Mahavīrassa tittharmi satta pavayananinhagă paṁ tań : bahurayā, jivapadesiyā, avvattiya,
150 This first 5 of the preceding ten ajjh. are doubtless meant by this statement. At
least in the Nandi they preserve the same order of succession, 151 These texts may be concealed, i.e., absorbed by larger texts--a conjecture which
is very probable e. g. in the case of the vivāhaculiya'. See above. - 152 cf. Kup. 794 (4) where the words "in connection with Ayyarakk hia and Püsamitta"
belong to the last line after gotthämähila ; see Av. N. 8, 89.
